RISE: Autumn.Winter 22/23
Munich Fabric Start presents the new Autumn.Winter 22/23 seasonal theme: RISE
Autumn.Winter 22/23 welcomes a new world of connectivity. The guiding theme and dedicated focus for the upcoming edition of Munich Fabric Start celebrates and perpetuates the meaningful connection to unite the industry under the seasonal title ‘RISE’.
A reality bound by a global pandemic stirs the industry to reinvent itself once again. New perspectives bring us closer together and give rise to dreams, visions and collections that brighten and uplift our world. Emotion is infused in our future as we seek out joy and comfort with a warmed sense of connection.
Sensitive and in tune with our surroundings, we are in close touch with our haptic senses as we long for connection on many levels. We are reassured by our analog experiences as we explore the feel and the nature of our tactile world. Be it material or emotional, our textiles reflect a kind of lightness, expressing the joy of celebration and party, we let go and are entertained. A collaborative spirit drives our digital world as we network using 3D technology – we excel our visions, planning and design processes to reach new levels.
With RISE, we strengthen what unites us as part of a global thrivability movement. Holistic and transparent concepts, from fiction to reality, guiding a path towards circular economy, from fiber to fiber. We witness the fusion of nature and technology as hemp becomes the new mainspring for natural fibers and materials. Education plays an important role in the development of anti-greenwashing, climate-friendly visions and inclusion of looks, gender and body shapes, as well as new modular models in order to be able to react more flexibly to the market. All of which embrace the growing feelings that less is more, better quality is more.
We define our limits in order to push beyond them. Pragmatic solutions lead us to discover the joy in reduced colours and collection materials. Thinking beyond what was previously possible. We move forward with digitization, enjoying its advantages with a relaxed ease and assurance we ultimately bring us closer with our natural world.

Tejidos Royo: Driving The Textile Revolution with DRY INDIGO®
Tejidos Royo is the engine of the current Industrial Textile Revolution with the development of Dry Indigo® technology. After 11 years of research, in collaboration with Gastón Systems Inc. and Indigo Mill Designs (IMD), they have managed to modify the conventional Indigo dyeing process, eliminating water consumption. Dry Indigo® uses foam for application. Thanks to this, they use 0% of water in the process, totally eliminating the discharge of wastewater, reduce energy use by 65% and 89% of chemical products. An ECO-TECHNOLOGY certified by AITEX (2019AP0053).
Thanks to this innovation, Tejidos Royo was able to launch the One Million Liters project. A revolutionary initiative with a clear concept: donate 1 million liters of water saved thanks to the Dry Indigo system to social causes that need this resource to live. In 2019, the first million liters saved were delivered to UNICEF. For 2020 their goal was to involve the industry and consumers through an international competition, inviting them to choose the cause to donate the second million liters. In January 2020, the winner will be revealed.
One Million Liters Now Has a Beneficiary
Two months after its launch, the One Million Liters initiative now has a beneficiary, the Chakaka Primary School in Benga, Malawi. The school’s nearest well is 500 metres away, and the amount of water it provides is not enough for the more than 1,500 boys and girls at the school, as the well it is shared with a large local community.
The project aims to resolve these problems by drilling a new well and installing a pump that ensures a permanent supply of drinking water at the school. As a result, the school will have all the water it needs for drinking and cooking, as well as to clean the classrooms, toilets and kitchens, thereby improving hygiene and sanitation which is necessary in order to prevent the spread of diseases.
This is the culmination of Tejidos Royo’s first initiative to raise awareness of how changing one part of the manufacturing process not only makes a big difference to the industry but also contributes to a good cause. Dry Indigo® is a great milestone in this regard and Tejidos Royo hope that it will inspire both the sector and brands in the development of technologies that contribute to making our industry much more responsible with the environment.
